The Chester Creek Branch railroad line ran from Lamokin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania to Lenni in Middletown Township, until 1971. It was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), and later by Penn Central. The branch diverged from the Northeast Corridor main line near the now-defunct SEPTA Lamokin Street Station. For most of its length, the branch paralleled Chester Creek. At Lenni, the branch merged with the West Chester Branch.

“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
